  1. If they land in a crater wouldn't it be more difficult to get out and explore other nearby areas?

  2. Yes, but they could be sheltered against dust storms.

  3. Beautifully rendered, but landing/takeoff pads are too close to habitats. Should be several km apart.

  4. Bad solar layout. Assuming its in the northern hemisphere, why would you have panels facing/tilting North, Northwest, and Northeast?
